Neville Island just a few miles down from Pittsburgh on the Ohio river is Heavily industrialized on top half of island which means it also has an abundance of railroad spurs go all over the island to what was once many steel and other manufacturing plants .
The little railroad Formally known as Pittsburgh Chartiers and Youghiogheny Railroad which then became Sort lived Pittsburgh Industrial Railroad and is now known as Pittsburgh & Ohio Central Railroad operates with 3 different engines and has trackage rights to Washington Pa.
However with all the weaving and bopping it has to do to get tank ,flat and gondola cars delivered to various company's who have taken over the old Mill sites one in particular is a little more tricky.
What was once the sprawling site of PDM Pittsburgh Demoine Steel the railroad has to actually pass thru one building to get to another on Grand Ave which are owned by different company's
It goes thru the building owned by SMB Mechanical Contracting to make a delivery to Trinity Metals
at end of day after train is done working SMB rolls down the doors till another work day .
Its a rather unusual arrangement but it works.
Its a shame all the tracks no longer used and the 10,000 jobs the island has lost but lots of small company's have popped up in there place.
